Forks over Knives is amazing! Anything featuring T. Colin Campbell is a really interesting outlook on a plant based diet. I really enjoyed the documentary too because it's focus is less on the ethical aspect of veganism, but more on nutrition which I think is an excellent way to introduce someone into the vegan lifestyle. It doesn't lecture, it simply shows the credible results of improving one's heart, diabetes etc.. with changes in their diet.

I finally watched forks over knives yesterday. I must say it´s an awesome movie! I totally loved it.
I am vegetarian for a long time now. My boyfriend decided to eat less meat now.
Just one question: They kept on saying less cooking-oil or no oil at all, but how to stir-fry (correct word? ) without oil?

"...insanity is thinking that you need something you don't have. The mere fact that you exist right now without that which you think you need is proof that you don't need it."-Byron Katie (<-DOESNT APPLY to SHOES) TheFitChick.com *~* TWITTER me

sometimes when i saute i'll start with olive oil, and then add a bit of water instead of more oil as cooking progresses.

that's a really cool idea, i've never thought of that!
i usually try to fried the least as possible (i'm more into baking, love using the oven, even if it takes more time sometimes) but when i do i use olive oil.

then i guess using fruit oils such as coconut oil would be even better, but in my country is really hard to find alternatives to the usual foods, and when you do, they are really expensive

^ Now as you mentioned - I hate that it's impossible for me to make some of the delicious looking vegan recipes, because we don't have half of the ingredients in the supermarkets and neither in specialised bio vegan stores.

yeah, i use coconut sometimes too, but it's not very convenient ... and no flavor, at least what i've tried.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork, making sure it is really blended together. Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together.
